George W. Bush says he ‘set ideology aside to prevent an economic collapse’

In this newly released book trailer &#151 think movie trailer without the voice-overs and dramatic music &#151 George W. Bush previews his memoir, Decision Points .

Bush calls the book “untraditional,” so don’t expect a chronological blow-by-blow of his life. Instead the former president says it will focus on the most “demanding and important part of the job, making decisions.”

Decision 1: Quitting drinking at age 40 (a decision he “could not have made without faith”).

Decision 2: Running for president (“one of the toughest decisions of my life”).

Decision 3: Who to include in the Cabinet (“presidential decisions are shaped by the people around you”)..

Decision 6: Starting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 (9/11 “changed the course of history” and sending troops into battle is the “hardest decision any president can make.”)

Decision 7: Rethinking America’s war strategy and sending more troops to Iraq as part of the “surge.”

Decision 8: Decisions to push and abandon social security and immigration reform.

Decision 9: The response to Hurricane Katrina, for which his administration was widely criticized.

Decision 10: The lifelong free market supporter ends his book with the economic crisis and his decision to “set ideology aside to prevent an economic collapse.”

Decision Points will be released on November 9. The publisher has printed 1.5 million copies in the first run.
